Sweet Nothings

Great songs connect us to the most treasured memories and lift our spirits in the most stressful circumstances. While love songs have been with humanity since the beginning of time, they reached unparalleled artistic sophistication and quality with the 19th century German Lieder masters, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms. Join Stuart Malina, a Tony award-winning Music Director of the Harrisburg Symphony, Ya-Ting Chang, Director of Market Square Concerts and a vocal quartet featuring Rebecca Myers, Dianna Grabowski, James Reese and Jonathan Hays for a journey through tender and uplifting Liebeslieder Walzes, Brahms’s most personal and lovingly crafted masterpieces.

More About Me program

Kienle is piloting a program in which our staff visits with patients admitted to the hospital. During a brief chat, we learn three important non-medical pieces of information about the individual. We post it over the patient’s bed so that healthcare providers can engage with the patient on a more personal level. One patient reported that the program allowed him to have a deep conversation with a nurse. "It connected me in an unexpected way," he commented. He shared that socializing is very difficult and usually uncomfortable for him so this program truly helped him during his stay. The Kienle Center promotes a humanistic approach to medicine.
